When multiple corners are enabled for design, the final report script analyzes the power grid only once. Since no corner is defined, it automatically selects the fastest corner.

This is the loop to generate those reports.
dict for {pwrNetName pwrNetVoltage} $::env(PWR_NETS_VOLTAGES) {
set_pdnsim_net_voltage -net ${pwrNetName} -voltage ${pwrNetVoltage}
analyze_power_grid -net ${pwrNetName} \
-error_file $::env(REPORTS_DIR)/${pwrNetName}.rpt
}
I did some tests and it looks like the percentage drop is almost identical for the slow and fast corner. However, should we analyze all available corners by default instead of only one?
I don't know if this intentionally or got forgotten to implement in the past.
